Abstract

Coronary artery perforation is a rare but serious complication during percutaneous coronary intervention. Distal or small vessel perforation is usually treated by coil, fat, or microsphere embolization. We describe 5 cases of distal coronary perforation that were managed successfully by a novel technique that uses absorbable sutures. ( Level of Difficulty: Advanced. ).<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.)
